Vault Server on Another Computer
The Vault Server does not have to be on the same computer running the Cumulus Server. You can decide to have the Vault Server running on a computer other than the Cumulus Server. The computer you select for the Vault Server will not only manage Client access to Vault but also physically store all versions of all assets controlled by Vault, so it should have enough storage space available. You can also have the Vault Server running on a different computer, and it will still communicate seamlessly with your Cumulus Server.
If you decide to have the Vault Server running on a computer other than the Cumulus Server, you have to install the Cumulus Server software on that computer.
When selecting the computer for the Vault Server, keep in mind that not only will it store all assets – and all versions – under Vault’s control, but also that every Client will need continuous TCP/IP access to it for checking these assets in and out.
